Hello all! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! First…can I get you to say a little prayer for my son…he’s having surgery today due to a sports injury…and will be laid up for about 4-5 weeks! With a 17 month old and a new baby on the way, things will be crazy, I’m sure! I’ll be helping out as much as I can.
But, it’s time for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge! It’s a pretty color combination and, of course, perfect for flowers, so that’s the direction I went! Some really awesome cards this week from our Challenge Team, so make sure to check them out over on Create with Connie and Mary!
Here’s my card. I don’t know why, but I feel like my Watermelon Wonder Ink is more red than dark pink! Oh well!
Here are the details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Whisper White, folded in half.
- On the 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Whisper White, I started by stamping the flourish in Timeless Textures twice with Soft Suede Ink. Then I added leaves from What I Love (a FREE SAB set) with Mossy Meadow Ink, and some splatters in Timeless Textures with Watermelon Wonder Ink. This layer is added to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The full inside image of the flower is stamped twice with Watermelon Wonder Ink on scrap Whisper White, then Soft Suede added with the outline image, they were hand-cut out and placed over the background images with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Several small pearls were added in a cluster for each flower.
- Thank You from What I Love was stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink close to the images.
That’s it! A CAS design! I love it!

Your card is so artistic this week Connie – love the flowing feel of your stamping. Sending healing thoughts to your son today too – hope the surgery went well.
I love your card – What I Love is my favourite SAB set and Timeless Textures is another fave! Wishing your son a speedy recovery!
The textures work perfectly with this flower set. Very elegant and classy with a touch of shabby chic! What a wonderful combination! I’ll be praying for your son and I hope he’s on his way to a speedy recovery!
Your son is lucky to have you! I’m sure he knows that and will appreciate having your help! Hope all goes well and he heals well and is back on his feet! Your card is very pretty! Love the white on white layers and the bold flowers.
Great background elements, and I love how the flowers pop right off the background! Very pretty!
